Swifty Corporation has the following data related to an item of
inventory:
Inventory, March 1 | 450 units | @ $1.90 | |
Purchase, March 7 | 1430 units | @ $2.00 | |
Purchase, March 16 | 330 units | @ $2.05 | |
Inventory, March 31 | 580 units |
The value assigned to ending inventory if Swifty uses LIFO is
$1102. |
$1177. |
$1187. |
$1115. |
As per LIFO method , inventory purchase later, is cherged to cost first. Thus, ending inventory consists of the units purchased earlier.
In the given case, 580 units of the ending inventory will consist of 450 units from March 1 inventory and 130 units purchased on March 7
calculation of Cost of ending inventory
date | Units | Unit cost | Total cost |
March 1 | 450 | $1.90 | $855 |
March 7 | 130 | $2 | $260 |
Total | 580 | $1,115 |
Cost of ending inventory = $1,115
